Thursday not working! Unfortunately I spent most of the day driving.

All kids are asleep now and I hear guinea pig rustling around every now and then. I’m not sure what to do about tomorrow. I have to drop them off at co-parent’s at 6 PM but will have little time with them. I’d like to spend time with them in the AM, drop off Red and Big Bro, and then maybe stay in that area and go to a library or beach or something. Someplace where we can grab a snooze. Then pick up Big Bro and Red and do something. Maybe a museum or the zoo. I just don’t want to spend the whole day driving on the highway and also missing out on my kids. Anything to avoid having to take these toddlers on four trips on two separate highways, in traffic each way. I’ll figure something out tomorrow and will likely pack up the car with extra clothes, food, etc. It will be an adventure.
Til tomorrow –

I don’t know how you feel but I never wanted a dvd player in my minivan. I stuck to my guns through 3 vans but then a little thing called car line entered my life. I had 3 car lines a day, one of which took up to 1/2 hr to get through. I had bags of fun stuff to do in the car including travel games, puppets, coloring books. One crazy afternoon, I even resorted to blowing bubbles in the car, much to my little ones delight. By week 3, I was exhausted and tired of hearing the kids cry and fall asleep at the wrong time. I caved. We installed the dvd player and told them it was only to be used on long trips and during those dreaded car lines. Five years later and the rule still stands. They don’t even ask for it now unless we’re taking a very long drive. Just a thought 🙂
I love you! Bubbles!!! You are kidding me! We are doing well. I don’t turn the radio on. We talk in the car. I cherish this time with them, since they are a captive audience and we get a chance to interact with each other, all of us at the same time. We talk about the cars, the fog, how some of the buildings look like “castles”, graffiti, the painting of the turtles outside of the aquarium, etc. etc. Big Bro asks lots of questions and I have fun teaching them things. We are making the best of it.
